Cake decorating class

Madison and I went to our cake decorating class and these are the cupcakes we made tonight! Aren't they awesome?... Don't you think they are a little "too awesome" for us??? OK, Ok, OK... they aren't ones we made, but some day we hope to make. Here is a picture of the cake that Madison made tonight

... she practiced some of the various "techniques" that we learned. She was quite happy with it, so I am too!

We were the only ones in the class! The other 6 students couldn't come for one reason or another and class was cancelled last week so the instructor insisted that we come anyway. So, we had the instructor to ourselves... and according to her, it's "just like 3 friends getting together". She's real sweet. We had a good time and it was fun to do something with my girl.

Tony was working so Quinn hung out with Nate. Grandma Jo, they have now started using Nate's "Chat Now" phones... basically a walkie-talkie and it works from his house to ours so they aren't tying up the phone line now. They had to "chat" while Quinn was brushing his teeth, getting his PJ's on... they might as well live together. We are thrilled because they (Quinn & Nate) have decided that they will go to Camp Friedenswald this summer for 2 nights! Quite a big step for both of them I think but there is strength in numbers and as long as they keep their shoulders velcroed together, they're confident they will do great. Madison was talking camp up to Quinn and was listing off all of the fun things you can do... "you can throw note balls to each other during rest time..." and Quinn was buying all of the fun until he heard that, "That is the problem! I don't know how to throw a note ball!"...and from Madison, "You write a note, wad it up and throw it at the person!"... and from Quinn, "Ohhhh" with relief in his voice. Whew... let's get all the particulars down. Madison informed me tonight that she is going to camp every single year, even when she has gray hair... I guess by that time she'll either be working at the camp or running it! Ha!

Well, that's all for tonight folks.

Love to all, Leah
